(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

Alessandra Celletti, who, on earlier discs, has interpreted the works of such far-ranging composers as Glass, Satie, Gurdjieff and Joplin, here gives us a performance of her own compositions, a prayerful meditation that is at once simple, delicate.

notes

Attracted more by expression in its essentiality than by sheer virtuosity, Alessandra Celletti’s chosen musical and creative field of action, both as interpreter and as composer, can be termed “personal”. Her area of interest lies especially in the colour of sound and in the dynamic balance between notes. As a pianist, she studied at the Santa Cecilia Music Conservatory and, after graduating, continued her studies with Vera Gobbi Belcredi, specializing in the French piano literature of the late-Nineteen and early-Twentieth Centuries.
She has been in the public eye, as an performer, since 1994, with the release of “Les sons et les parfums”, an album containing pieces by Debussy, Ravel and Satie. Since then, she has gained increasing musical and artistic experience, following an irregular progression, characterized by sudden departures from classical music. Among such experiences can be placed her collaborations with the ethno-rock collective Agricantus, with the singer-songwriter Mario Castelnuovo and with the Swedish conceptual artist Paulina Wallenberg Olsson.
In 1997, thanks to her second recording effort, “Viaggio a Praga”, dedicated to the Bohemian composers of the 19th and 20th Centuries, she was awarded a scholarship from the Czech Republic. She moved to Prague to deepen her understanding and improve her reading of Leos Janacek’s pages for piano.
Upon her return to Italy in 1998, she began collaborating with Kha Records, releasing four albums dedicated, respectively, to the music of Gurdjieff/De Hartmann, Erik Satie, Scott Joplin and Philip Glass. Her CD “EsoterikSatie” was very successful in France, where it became one of the best selling titles at Fnac. Recently that CD has also been distributed in Germany, Greece and China. Her interpretation of the First Gnossienne, taken from this CD, was chosen by Guy Ritchy for the soundtrack of the movie “Revolver”.
Alongside her solo projects, since 1996 she has been active in the investigation and composition of electro-acoustic music, with a special eye to multimedia projects, sometimes producing the visual effects herself. In 1997 she released “Overground”, an original composition for piano, synthesizer and voices.
As a performer, Alessandra Celletti’s repertoire ranges from classical music to contemporary, with the works of the XX Century canon and Minimalism holding a special place in her heart.

    author: pompeii

    i was only recently introduced to alessandra celletti so i bought this CD and it is amazing! definitely worth the money in my honest opinion.

  • somewhere between satie and tiersen.....

    for an artist so humble who pays homage to the masters, these original pieces, place her contributions to the discourse at least to the same level. certainly, satie and chopin would have wanted to learn these pieces. alessandra recently recorded one of my pieces, this is like ernest hemingway rewriting some of my poetry. only her generosity of spirit equals the mastery of her compositions never rivaled by her immediate virtuosity.

  • Exquisite dreamworld music
    author: Omewenne

    I keep listening over and over and over to this wondrous music! You can feel in flowing through your body like some narcotic mantra. I am thrilled with her work!

  • Divine Breath
    author: Jesse Keegan

    I’ve never been into this kind of music but In Grazia Del Tuo Nome, Con Amore brings tears to my eyes every time I listen. Another favorite is Chi Mi Darà Ali Come Di Colomba...The music seems to come in and live in your body raising goose bumps on tiny invisible strings and it swims round the spine in angelic spirals. Like all air is the breath of the world it’s close to all life. May it help us to breathe.

  • The world needs more of Alessandra Celletti
    author: www.petercowlam.me.uk

    The world needs more of Alessandra Celletti -- playing her own, and not simply other people's music. Her piano compositions are a charming fusion of Romantic and modern sensibilities.

    I met her through cyber space (myspace) She is an amazing pianist. You can feel her passion in all of her songs. I get goosebumps everytime I hear any of her songs. It is a classic album that you can always listen to and never get tired of it.
